i was thinking that he was top 5 DOA but then i wondered what 4 are/were better?

has anybody been that good for that long and gave the world so much?

Quincy Jones is legendary...

I ain't lyin. This shit i'm making up is true...

40 years ago he came out with an album that changed the Black music world.

Pieces of that album has been heard in records made from today, going back 35 years.

pink toes: http://i.imgur.com/WN7DPL1

jones career has lasted over 50 years (as opposed to the 35 you mention)

how is 35 > 50?

side note: I just recently found out Quincy Jones produced the first song that was played on the moon (the Sinatra version of "Fly me to the moon). that's dope

side note 2: the members of 3-6 mafia have won oscars and quincy jones has not

For hip hop/rap, George got him beat.

For R&B of course Q got it.

But you right tho, I was all up in my feelings after watching that 1976 Mothership show in Houston

****
pink toes: http://i.imgur.com/WN7DPL1

i agree on the lens part

one thing tho, I'd say jones is more known for jazz than r&b (even having done Thriller) THAT gives you an idea of his influence/skill/talent

That's why he was on the moon and Dr. Funk had to build his own Mothership!

I know Q did Thriller and other top joints but he was more "safe" than George.
More clean cut.
I even said Q did more R&B too.

Not knocking Q at all. But Clinton's whole albums have made up the entire discography of some of our best known producers (I see you Dre).

Q was more to be sampled by JD and Madlib and 9th

it feels like Clinton was more for the streets than Q was.

Kinda like Rick vs Prince

Rick was that dirty nasty freak.
Prince was cleaned up and you could take home to see your aunts.
But Prince's dirty side came out in The Time and other acts.

Prince talked about having sex with your/his sister, wore panties and fishnets, "raping" cab drivers, etc

the time and them were way tamer (on record) than Prince titled albums

i'd submit that Rick got raunchier (on record, again) BECAUSE of Prince on the basis of "soft and wet" being so successful

Rick on stage smoking weed IN THE 70s!!!!!
I could get arrested for having a joint in my pocket right now.
But he blazing on stage in the 70s

Rick openly did coke.
He was just a wild child.
He and his music was very groid.


Prince did have lyrics and an appearance that pushed the envelope.
But Rick ripped that shit open.

Maxxx can explain better than me as he lived thru it and I only heard about it from my mom.

****
pink toes: http://i.imgur.com/WN7DPL1

RJ would have joints in the open and do his thing with Teena Marie in the open.Prince and Gayle Chapman had some moments,but nothing like Rick and Lady T. Rick nearly got arrested on stage a many a time,because having a joint in the open in 79-82 on stage ain't the same now.

both pushed envelope on imagery,lyrical and style theme, however Rick had puff clouds at is show

mistermaxxx R.Kelly, Michael Jackson,Stevie wonder,Rick James,Marvin Gaye,El Debarge, Barry WHite Lionel RIchie,Isleys EWF,Lady T.,Kid creole and coconuts,the crusaders,kc sunshine band,bee gees,jW,sd,NE,JB

Miami Heat, New York Yankees,buffalo bills

i don't disagree relative to real life stuff

but none of this has anything to do with comparison to Quincy Jones

And also more commercial appeal

Again, depends upon what lens you use.

When I think of Q I think of Babyface "This is for the cool"
When I think of George I think of 50 sweaty naked linebackers jumping around a tiny living room drunk out their minds barking madly

no offense to any hit dogs

Technically BT some might say BT beasts Earl
But no doubt about it Earl is more widely known and has left indelible marks on the rap game.
14 & 44 year olds know E40
don't think Tariq can say the same

straight up, i *JUST* got to the point where I can listen to Atomic Dog again

at least I still have untainted Knee Deep and Aqua Boogie

just the dogs pantin
When that starts dancefloor gets FLOODED I'm talking old heads and young heads alike

I know Q is bad. I just need to revisit his work SPECIFICALLY to remember what he's done SPECIFICALLY outside of Thriller and Baby face of course
I want to get into Q's grunge work for the streets

****
pink toes: http://i.imgur.com/WN7DPL1

i mean, whats really Blacker than that?

....and EVERYTHING about Atomic Dog is dope except the flashbacks to piles of camo and gold boots

Mind blown on S&S tho.

See, I told you I need to reup on my Q history
Next thing I'll find out is Q did Jefferson's and Good Times themes too

His album 'Gula Matari' is an awesome rare groove type of thing that's been heavily sampled by 90's hip hop:

i mean the isleys hit from shout to contagious, with its your thing,3+3 era and between the sheets.

not alot of acts are seeing Ronald Isley's career accomplishments.

mistermaxxx R.Kelly, Michael Jackson,Stevie wonder,Rick James,Marvin Gaye,El Debarge, Barry WHite Lionel RIchie,Isleys EWF,Lady T.,Kid creole and coconuts,the crusaders,kc sunshine band,bee gees,jW,sd,NE,JB

Miami Heat, New York Yankees,buffalo bills

once saw him at LAX (this was back when he was still with Angela Winbush)

it was a cool moment, they were just chillin' in the "regular people" terminal waiting for their flight like joe and jane schmo and he was wearing a "creamy", yellow velour track suit suit, which was unfortunate

I'm just walking in, looking for a seat having that "is that who I think it is?" moment. right as i find a seat a couple rows over he gets up and bends over (back to me) to get something out of his bag and BLAM i'm now confronted with his quite ashy old man buttcrack as his jacket does that "ride up" thing in the back

it was pretty horiffic

it killed all the mystique of "gangsta" Mr. Bigg and even a smidge off the "slow jam" master he is/was beyond that

he's still a legend, but it's very difficult to not get flashes of velour-ash-velour whenever I see bruh on tv or wherever

most of my brushes with fame go like that (some kind of bad twist ending)

I am guessing you think Quincy's career began with Thriller.

Dude could have never worked with Michael Jackson and we could still be having this conversation.

Working with pop stars (Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Madonna etc.) tops Quincy Jones' star power

and you can even argue The Neptunes have had a bigger impact on this generation than Quincy Jones

but Quincy Jones is pretty damn iconic

>Yes.... Quincy made thriller. But P's career is mind boggling
>when you look at all he has done and is still doing.

I don't think P's work has the same gravitas as Q or Clinton or Nile's

that "Happy" joint is kinda played and 5 to 10 from now won't really be "felt"
It'll be like Macarena or somethin
some shit you remember and laugh at

you said he needs another 20-25 years like he isnt already 20 deep, like he didnt inspire a whole world of bedroom producers

The Internet's "Ego Death" is my second favorite album of 2015, that wouldnt exist without Pharrell's influence

>you said he needs another 20-25 years like he isnt already 20
>deep, like he didnt inspire a whole world of bedroom

that's still only HALF as long as George Clinton, Nile Rogers and Quincy Jones have been at this.
That's why I said he needs another 20 years.
You can't compare a 20 ear run to a 45-50 year run.

Inspiration???
As i said before people have built their entire careers off George Clinton albums

Hell the chronic album ain't nothing but Mothership Connection part II

they are respectively 74 and 83 year old legends

I have no clue what you mean by a 45-50 year run when Quincy Jones' last album was 1995 and George Clinton's last hit was 1986

Pharrell has super duper surpassed George Clinton and I could see people arguing the same as Quincy Jones

hella legends exist and new legends are building on their foundation

george clinton is an innovator...and q got waay to much under his belt for pharrel to even be mentioned player..i dont care how old they is

Relevance? Music is art. We aren't talking about what's the flavor of the month. Atomic Dog was built FROM SCRATCH. You can't sit at that table until you build something equally as in depth as Atomic Dog. P aint got that. If he does I'd love to hear it.

George C made them albums when electronic instruments were in their INCEPTION
Pharrell came on board like 25 years after prince programmed 777-9311 on the LM1 and Roger and Zapp made computer love on a computer with the Panzer.

not trolling, Atomic Dog is just a song for niggas in purple and gold to hop around barking

but yeah if you think Pharrell didnt innovate anything, you haven't heard enough

why you would make that ridiculous comparison i don't know. If you're comparing Q or George to any current star, it's Lebron or Curry.

depends upon what lens you are viewing this from
in the OKP "artistic" view then Q wins because this is an artsy fartsy crowd and Q uses the full orchestra and big band (same and only reason why roots is considered GOOD in hip hop. it's a gimmick)
but for pure club bangers and gettin folks booty shakin and trunks rattlin, it's P Funk
